Installation on Railcars
Place GCL vibrator in a GCL-GBMX Bracket or a
GCL-GBM Bracket. The vibrator on the bracket slides
into the standard railcar bracket on the hopper car.
If two vibrators are used on one railcar, use an air
regulator to run them at different speeds.
Placement on Channel Iron
Orient the direction-of-rotation of the unbalance
(roller weight) so that it turns in the direction of
material flow. Position lug bolt on the high side
(uphill side) of the channel iron.
Mounting on Truck Bed
Weld GCL bracket to an independent channel
iron. The GCL vibrator inserts quickly into bracket.
Locate the channel iron as close as possible to the
material flow problem area.
Securing Vibrator to GCL Bracket
Attach the vibrator to the cradle lug bracket by
placing the tab at the base of the vibrator under
the bar on the end of bracket. Rotate the vibrator
towards the bracket until it is fully seated. Rotate
the bracket bolt until it fits between the two fingers
on the vibrator housing and secure it using the
cradle lug nut. Use a standard open-end or box
wrench to tightened. Repeated tightening with an
air wrench will eventually cause excessive wear to
the fingers on the vibrator housing.
